why refi

Simply put, a refi will give you a chance to replace your current mortgage with a new one based on the current market and your current finances.

the best time to refi

The best time to refi may be when
  • interest rates are at least 1% lower than your current mortgage
  • your credit profile has improved
  • you need funds to deal with a financial emergency, finance a large purchase, or consolidate debt
  • you plan to stay living in your current home long enough to recoup the costs of refinancing

the benefits of refi

Refinancing can potentially
  • lower your monthly mortgage payment
  • pay off your mortgage faster with a shorter term
  • allow you to switch from an adjustable-rate to a fixed-rate, or vice-versa
  • obtain a lower interest rate
  • provide cash for paying debt and home improvements
  • get rid of PMI if you have more than 20% equity in your home
  • obtain 100% financing with no PMI

Table Glossary

An adjustable mortgage has an initial interest rate that is fixed for a specific period of time, followed by an adjustable interest rate that can increase or decrease over the remaining life of the loan, based on certain market conditions. United offers two adjustable-rate mortgages (ARM)

  • 5/1 ARM: The first 5 five years are a fixed interest rate. Afterwards, the rate is adjusted once a year.
  • 7/1 ARM: The first 7 seven years are a fixed interest rate. Afterwards, the rate is adjusted once a year.

This is a good choice if you plan to move before the end of the introductory fixed-rate period, want an initial monthly payment lower than a fixed-rate mortgage usually offers, or think interest rates may go down in the future.

Conventional financing are mortgage loans that are not backed or insured by the government. Of conventional loans, they can be either conforming or non-conforming.

Conforming is a loan that abides by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines, two government-sponsored enterprises. Non-conforming, likewise, is a loan that does not abide by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines.

A down payment is an initial up-front partial payment for the purchase of the property. It is money that you physically have at your disposal, it is not borrowed.

DTI stands for debt-to-income ratio. To calculate, add up all your monthly debt payments and divide them by your gross monthly income.

A fixed-rate mortgage is a fully amortizing mortgage loan where the interest rate remains the same for the life of the loan. In other words, your total monthly payment of principal and interest will remain the same over time. This is a good choice if you think interest rates could rise in the next few years, plan to stay in your home for many years, or prefer the stability of a fixed monthly payment.

Investment property is generally property that you, personally, do not live. This is for property you intend to use to generate income by renting, appreciating value, or other means.

LTV stands for loan-to-value ratio. It is the term to represent the ratio of the mortgage loan as a percentage of the total appraised value of the real property.

Property that will be your main home in which you live most the year, receive mail, and is reasonably close to where you work.

(P)MI stands for (private) mortgage insurance. Mortgage insurance is typically required if you are borrowing a large percentage, usually over 80%, of the property’s value. With United, you can potentially get 100% financing with no PMI.1

A home you live in for some part of the year. Unlike a primary residence, you do not have to live there for most of the year or be close to your work. A second home is intended for personal use.

Specialty financing are loans offered or secured by a government entity.
